Early check in. I’m grateful I woke up. I had horrible nightmares, even crying out loud for help at 3 a.m. And woke up from it. Grateful I fell asleep again. Grateful for a hot shower to wash down all the insecure, angsty feelings. My arm hurts, my bones ache a bit, I got a slight headache already yesterday. Grateful I can feel adverse effects of the jab and not panic allthough I’m alone. Grateful I can call a friend when I feel I need help.
Grateful for our moderators here on TS
Grateful for my cats, the purring love beside me, who always manage to help calm down when anxiety becomes high
Congrats on 6 months Billy!!

Adding tools to my toolbox

Slowly learning patience
Everyone here sharing their sober journies and fight to overcome addictions.
Lets go out and slay the day soberly! Yay you!
I’m grateful to God I’m sober.
I’m grateful I wake up hangover free.
I’m grateful for cold desert mornings with clear skies and stars early in the morning outside with my dogs and my Nespresso shot. I’m grateful for my Pixie.
I’m grateful Minnie came to bed with me last night. As usual she knew I needed her company and stayed with me a couple of minutes. I’m grateful I went to bed just a little bit angry but woke up without any resentments from the night before.
I’m grateful we watched the last 2 episodes of The Patient together. @Soberbilly Glad that’s over.
Congratulations on your 6 months Billy. And a day. Good luck with the reaming. I’m on deck for one of those. I’m grateful I didn’t want to do it during peak COVID and was able to stick one in the mail they said I was good for another year. Maybe I’ll make it 2
I’m grateful I got my car back yesterday and they got it running and maintained well and the a/c is cranking. It had a leak. I’m grateful I can use my calm again to call and go back there because a decorative grill is broke. I’m grateful I could be real upset that they might have broke it when they were cleaning it. But I was reading the other day in my book Co Crazy, And someone mentioned it on here as well. Maybe my Twinnie. FACTS!! I’m going to stick with the facts, that I know. I brought it in. Its 20 plus years old. And now a decorative grill piece is broken. Another fact is I don’t know when or how it got broken.
I’m grateful for my new house cleaner. I hope to use her again. They weren’t perfect. But you know what? Neither am I. I’m grateful I don’t have to be perfect. It’s exhausting. I’m grateful I’ve been able to let that go. Most of the time.
I’m grateful when Mavy tamps on my face in bed in the early morning and doesn’t rip me a new one. I’m grateful when Alice tamps on my neck with her clawless front paws. It’s the coolest feeling. And a little less anxiety than when Maverick does it.
I’m grateful to see both dogs looking out the big sliding glass doors at the view and people walking their dogs and maintenance guys. I’m grateful when they don’t bark.
I’m grateful my wife did a butt load of laundry yesterday after our trip.
I’m grateful for this almost daily gratitude practice.
I’m grateful to be able to share it with you. YA YOU!
Gratitude is one of the most medicinal emotions we can feel. It elevates our moods and fills us with joy.

Congratulations on your 6 months sir
Here’s to another day
Tonight I am grateful for:
- going along to my slimming group even though I knew I hadn’t done too well. I feel stronger these days and more able t keep trying when things aren’t going great.
- having the mindset to start afresh tomorrow.
- signing up to a walking challenge in November with a workmate. It will do me good as I’ve been rubbish at getting my steps in lately.
- for cuddles from puppies! My in-laws came home with two tiny furry balls today and I got to have cuddles and one of them fell asleep on me. Best thing in the world.
- for an early night, and my snoring husband next to me. Tonight his sleeping sounds make me feel warm and safe and lucky to be so blessed. Tomorrow he will probably annoy me again
- for having the confidence and courage to try and tackle other problems in my life because I’m not drinking.
- for a clear head, sensible thoughts and a hangover free morning tomorrow.
Night all!
I’m grateful I’m learning to be a friend to myself
I’m grateful for love and acceptance
I’m grateful that the stories we’ve come to believe about ourselves aren’t always true
I’m grateful that self love and acceptance can be learned over time
I’m grateful I’m learning to be compassionate to myself
I’m grateful for polarity and contrast
I’m grateful for my heart
I’m grateful I’m learning how strong it is
I’m grateful when I find words that help me see things I struggle with in a new light
I am grateful for another day.
I am grateful I take a rest. My mind is spitting unpleasant thoughts.
I am grateful for a warm shower.
I am grateful I have a work to go to.
I am grateful a long weekend is just around the corner.
I am grateful I have my bikes that give me a wide range of freedom relative to the worries and costs they give me.
I am happy that the bug I caught is not detectable with a Covid test. I am grateful I have an immune system.
I am grateful for insulin.
I am grateful I have enough.
You speak my language, I love you.
Some before bed gratitude…
I am grateful for the people who teach me, the ones who spend time having conversations with me, the people who challenge me.
I am grateful for all that I am learning and for being willing to learn.
I am grateful for therapy, and for having the courage to speak my truth.
I am grateful to feel like I am finally over that cold and I am hopeful I dont get sick again anytime soon.
I am grateful to be in bed and I am looking forward to a blissful sleep.
Rest easy.
Today I am grateful for:
- Meetings. Whether you decide to share or not, it is a safe environment where you can feel comfortable & confident knowing that whatever you hear or whatever you share, it stays in the room. Plus, spending time with likeminded people is always good.
- Friends and family. It feels like I don’t have a lot of people right now, but I’m ok with that. After drifting & feeling like I couldn’t confide in somebody very close to me anymore (it wasn’t anyone’s fault, it’s just the way life pans out sometimes…), I’m grateful for those who are still in my life, and those who look out for me.
- Being alive, and my sobriety. Obvious one really, but I’m learning how to deal and contend with situations differently in sobriety, something I would have 100% turned to drink to deal with previously.
I am not posting here so that constantly.
Time for a bit of gratidude today
I am grateful
-
to be sober. It’s getting more and more normal at nearly 100 days, but it isn’t… It isn’t at all, as I was sooo hardly drinking from my pov and soo autopilot driven. It’s a gift, possibility to change and especially time to heal. And if I am healing for the rest of my life it’s okay too. I am grateful for it
-
to have a nice apartment
-
to still be relativity safe here
-
to have courage
(especially to end up toxic relationships) -
to be physical healthy and fit
-
to have my family
-
to have possibilities
-
to go to holiday in December
-
to have such a nice coffee
Have a grateful sober day everyone
I am grateful I brought up the courage to go to a debating club meeting yesterday and for all the friedly faces there. I was really scared as my social anxiety is currently getting worse again, but it turned out to be a positive experiencce. I am grateful for the possibility to work from home on some days of the week, so I can use the lunch break to do some sports. Grateful for everyones gratitude here and a bright and golden autumn day.
Another morning check- in. Today I’m grateful I slept for 10 hours. Adverse effects of the jab sent me to rest and sleep yesterday after therapy. Grateful therapy helped me to come a bit clearer with all the issues beeing spoken about in the last days. I feel like I got some glimpses of “my way” and I start feeling comfortable with some baby steps I alredy took. It’s not easy but it’s necessary.
Grateful I had some energy today to get chores done. Grateful my cats want me to share my breakfast with them
As headache starts setting in again (same yesterday) I’m grateful I made wonderful Shangri-La tea in advance and will have some cups.
I’m grateful for sunshine, this beautiful autumn weather makes my heart light and my soul bloom
I’m on Day 10 and have had a hard time feeling grateful for anything until today.
I’m grateful to finally wake up without a headache.
I’m grateful for this community that I can turn to when I’m feeling alone.
I’m grateful for my job, my compassionate boss, and flexibility to work on my own schedule (and from home).
And I’m always grateful for my 3 cats.

Everyone here sharing their sober journies
Lets go out and slay the day soberly. Ya you!
Im grateful for wakin up 5 months hangover free.
Im grateful for 5 months of learning, clearing up wreckage, practicing acceptance and coming to terms and a new understanding of “time takes time” i cant snap my fingers and make it all, including me, better in an instant.
Im grateful for all your shares. I find answers in them. Example, how energy drinks were affecting me at work. Thank you @Bluekoolaid for that.
You never know how our shares can help someone else and all you are doing is explaining your gratitude or what youve learned.
Im grateful for my family. Im grateful we are all working on being healthier and better together.
Im grateful for hot coffee this morning. It tastes especially good this am.
Im grateful for all the creature comforts i take for granted each day. They could be gone in an instant. HP help me enjoy them this day.
Thank you
I’m grateful to be texting my son early in the morning. I’m grateful we have a fun mashed potato memory dilemma from our visit and my cooking at their house Sunday. I’m grateful whenever I open my Sober Time app I got a pic of my baby girl that surprisingly makes me smile each time. I haven’t changed my background pic in a long time. It’s so wonderful to see that baby each time I open this. I’m grateful they’re such loving parents.
I’m grateful for the facts yesterday. I was told to bring my car right down at my earliest convenience, and he cut the line and took my car to the back and popped in a new decorative grill real quick. No charge! And I was on my way. I’m grateful I’ll never know how that thing broke. I’m grateful they had that part in stock that fit my 20 year old car. I’m grateful I didn’t get all bent out of shape about it.
I’m grateful to sit and indirectly watch the sunrise while I’m doing my gratitude. I’m grateful for the wide open space and the stars in the cool morning.
I’m grateful I get to be checked out by my new cardiologist today for an ultrasound. I’m grateful whatever the outcome they will either fix it or send me on my way. I’m grateful I got a new doc for a check up this week too on Halloween. I hope I like her. I’m grateful I love my new cardiologist and grateful he recommended her and she isn’t far away from my house. I’m grateful after my appointment we will go to Chompies New York Deli and I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting a great Reuben.
I’m grateful for sober hangover free no desire to drink quiet mornings. I’m grateful to be planning what I’m going to eat for lunch instead of which place has the best lunch drinks after a doctors appointment.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my blessings.
I’m grateful for my family.
I’m grateful for predictive text on those last 2
I never thought of that. If I don’t know what I’m grateful for; I can just plug in I’m grateful,
and let predictive text take over.
I’m grateful for a view of the saguaro cactus I have out my windows.
I’m grateful to wrap this up and look for a 5 month celebration gif for a fellow gratidudette
A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.
